DIY Wood Shim Box
by Holly Grace
Hey, everyone!! I have missed you all! I took a couple weeks away from the blog to prepare for the Thorndale Christmas Home Tour. My mother and I decorate one of the homes of the tour and this is our second year doing it. We have so much fun, but it is A LOT of work… like A LOT! We pretty much empty the store and decorate someone else’s home. I had a professional photographer come in and take pictures, so those will be coming soon! I can’t wait to show you all, but for now, I have a quick and easy DIY to share.
Seriously guys, this DIY is soooo easy!

I made this decorative box with an old cardboard box and some wood shims.
I have had these wood shims kickin around for quite a while and I have wanted to use them for a DIY forever!
This couldn’t be any easier!
I alternated the thick ends. I did this because I wanted the box to have a cool look. Almost like the wood is protruding in spots.
What is it? I have no idea LOL … if you know, please tell me. I found them in the tool box. It is basically like an Exacto knife/scissors. Love it, though!
Notice my daughter’s ornament? She made that in school — it is one of my favs!
You will notice that I also stained the wood. I wanted the box to look a little darker. I used Early American from Minwax.

The tool is a pair of pruners for trimming up bushes etc.
